Catalogue Note
The present work depicts the Royal Pavillion, a promenade in Ostend, Belgium. Commissioned by King Leopold II in 1906, the Belle Époque structure was built by French architect Charles Girault and featured a graceful gallery of columns which ran from the Royal Villa to the Wellington tracks. The space was immediately popular with Ostend's vising and affluent holiday-goers who enjoyed its shops and viewing platforms along the beach. Now known as the "Albert I Promenade" the area remains a popular attraction today.
